Nashville is indeed on the rise as evidenced by the dozens of cranes lining our skies, rapid business growth, and our robust tourism and hospitality industries. Unfortunately, not all Nashvillians are enjoying this rise. Surges in rent and home prices coupled with stagnant and low wages, obstacles to acquiring health insurance, and limited access to workforce opportunities have contributed to the struggles faced by many increasingly being left in the wake of the success we are enjoying.
Strategies, actions, and public policies are needed to help those facing poverty and advance workplace morality. Please join us on April 6 for a needed self-examination and conversation, convened by A VOICE for the Reduction of Poverty, centered on how we can create the conditions and culture in our city that will help more among us enjoy the growth we are witnessing.
